Application March 21, 1950, Serial No. 150,933

1 Claim.

This invention relates to a razor blade magazine and receiver designed as an attachment to the magazine of a conventional injector razor.

An important object of the present invention is to provide a receiver which will not require a change of the form, in any way, of the injector magazine or razor as presently constructed.

Another important object is to provide a, blade receiver which is not attached to the injector razor itself.

Still another object is to provide a blade receiver which will be positioned to receive an ejected blade, these blades being conventionally ejected from one side of the head of the razor simultaneously with injection of a new blade at the other side.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts, hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of par-ts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a razor blade receiver formed in accordance with the invention,

for the purpose of showing the connection of said receiver to the magazine.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of the blade receiver and magazine.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal section through the receiver, a portion of the connecting spring being broken away.

Fig. 4 is a section taken on line t-t of Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings in detail, I indicates the handle of a well known type of injector razor having the head 2. An injector magazine 3 is used in association with the razor, for the purpose of injecting a new blade into one side of the head 2, the magazine 3 being equipped with the projecting key 4 that engages under one wall of the head 2 for the purpose of connecting the magazine and head for injection of a new blade.

The parts so far described constitute wholly conventional construction in an injector razor and magazine, and in accordance with the present invention, a blade receiver is provided for used blades ejected from the opposite side of the head 2 simultaneously with injection of a new blade, which receiver is so designed as to require no ATENTw FFICE I 2 change whatsoever in the formation of the injector razor or magazine.

In accordance with the present invention, an elongated spring 5 is rigidly secured in any suit able manner at one end to that wall of the maga zine 3 that is extended as the key 4, so that the spring 5 extends from the magazine 3 close to and parallel with the key 4, being spaced from said key a distance no greater than the thickness of the Wall of the head 2. The spring 5, in this connection, has an ofiset medial portion 6 as readily seen from Figs. 1 and 2. Specifically, this is the portion of the spring that extends in closely spaced parallel relation to the key 4.

The spring 6, as readily seen from Fig. l bridges the head 2, and is in contact with the exterior surface of the wall of said head, so that the offset portion 6 is in longitudinal contact with said head 2 of the injector razor externally of the wall, while the key 4 is in contact with said wall internally thereof.

At its other end, the spring 5 is rigidly secured in any suitable manner to the wall of a blade receiver 1 here shown as being of elongated and generally rectangular box construction, said. receiver body being designated 1 and being formed at one end with a slot 8 through which an ejected blade will be forced by a blade newly injected.

It will be seen that the blade receiver is not connected directly to the injector razor proper in any way, as may be noted by referring to the dotted line positions of the receiver body and spring in Fig. 1, showing that the spring can be pulled away from the head 2.

Additionally, the construction is such as to require no change whatsoever in the formation of the injector razor and magazine as presently designed.

Of additional importance is the fact that the injection of the key 4, securing the magazine 3 rigidly to the head 2 results in the receiver 1 being positioned in proper position on the other side of the razor head, with the slot 8 in exact position to receive an ejected blade.

What is claimed is:

In a combination razor blade magazine and razor blade receiver, a blade magazine of the type comprising an elongated hollow blade holder having a blade discharge slot opening through one end thereof and a razor head engaging key projecting longitudinally therefrom adjacent the slot, a blade receiver for receiving a blade ejected from a razor by a blade injected thereinto through the discharge slot comprising an elongated hollow receptacle having a blade receiving slot opening 3 through one end thereof, a flexible strip connected at one end to the blade holder and at its other end to the receptacle, said strip extending longitudinally parallel to and spaced from said key and holding the blade discharge and receiving slots in registration on opposite ends of a razor head while permitting said receiver to be swung aside for insertion of the key into a razor head.
